vehicle 10. The power-supplying device for a vehicle according to the first embodiment of the invention includes a power-supplyingprimary coil 21 and avehicle stopping member 30. The power-supplying device for a vehicle according to the first embodiment of the invention may include the power-supplyingprimary coil 21, thevehicle stopping member 30, and a drivingcircuit 50. - The
vehicle 10 is a movable body which can receive electric power. For example, thevehicle 10 is a car which can receive electric power. Thevehicle 10 may include a power-supplyingsecondary coil 22 which can wirelessly receive electric power from the power-supplyingprimary coil 21. - For example, the power-supplying
secondary coil 22 which can wirelessly receive electric power from the power-supplyingprimary coil 21 may be provided on the lower surface of thevehicle 10. - The power-supplying
secondary coil 22 wirelessly receives electric power from the power-supplyingprimary coil 21 which is provided below the power-supplyingsecondary coil 22. At that time, for example, magnetic resonance wireless power supply, electric resonance wireless power supply, or electromagnetic induction wireless power supply is performed. - The power-supplying
primary coil 21 can wirelessly supply electric power to the power-supplyingsecondary coil 22. The power-supplyingprimary coil 21 is provided in a parking space in which thevehicle 10 is parked and can wirelessly supply electric power to the power-supplyingsecondary coil 22. - When an electric current flows to the power-supplying
primary coil 21, the magnetic field is generated in the space and an electric current is induced by the magnetic field in the power-supplyingsecondary coil 22 which is placed in the magnetic field. - For example, when an alternating electric current flows to the power-supplying
primary coil 21, the magnetic field is generated in the space and an electric current is induced by the magnetic field in the power-supplyingsecondary coil 22 which is placed in the magnetic field. - The parking space is, for example, a horizontal concrete floor.
- The
vehicle stopping member 30 stops thevehicle 10 at a desired position of the parking space such that thevehicle 10 can be stopped at the position where wireless power supply efficiency from the power-supplyingprimary coil 21 to the power-supplyingsecondary coil 22 is high. Hereinafter, thevehicle stopping member 30 will be described in detail. - The vehicle stopping member (Example 1) 30 includes a
wheel stopper 31 and a wheelstopper moving mechanism 32. Thewheel stopper 31 is provided in the parking space, comes into contact with the outer circumference of the wheel of thevehicle 10, and stops the movement of thevehicle 10. - The
wheel stopper 31 is provided on the runway S in an orientation in which the rotation of the wheel is prevented, comes into contact with the outer circumference of the wheel of thevehicle 10, and stops the movement of thevehicle 10. - The wheel
stopper moving mechanism 32 can move the position of thewheel stopper 31 in the front-and-back direction. - For example, the wheel
stopper moving mechanism 32 is an actuator which moves thewheel stopper 31 in the front-and-back direction. For example, a mechanism which converts the rotation of an electric motor into a rectilinear motion using a ball screw can be used as the actuator. - For example, the wheel
stopper moving mechanism 32 moves thewheel stopper 31 in the front-and-back direction on the basis of the position of the power-supplyingsecondary coil 22 provided in thevehicle 10. - As a result, it is possible to stop the
vehicle 10 at the position where wireless power supply efficiency from the power-supplyingprimary coil 21 to the power-supplyingsecondary coil 22 is high. - The vehicle stopping member (Example 2) 30 includes a

acquisition member 33 acquires positional information corresponding to the position of the power-supplyingsecondary coil 22 provided in thevehicle 10. - For example, the
acquisition member 33 is a detector which detects the position of the power-supplyingsecondary coil 22 provided in thevehicle 10. For example, the detector captures the digital image of theentire vehicle 10, performs image processing to calculate the relative position of the wheel and the power-supplyingsecondary coil 22 in the image, and multiplies a coefficient for converting the distance in the image into the actual distance to convert the distance into the actual distance (positional information) between the wheel and the power-supplyingsecondary coil 22. In addition, when the type of thevehicle 10 is known in advance, the distance (positional information) between the wheel and the power-supplyingsecondary coil 22 may be measured in advance, may be stored in theacquisition member 33, and may be retrieved. - The wheel
stopper moving mechanism 32 moves the position of thewheel stopper 31 in the front-and-back direction on the basis of the positional information acquired by theacquisition member 33 and the positional information of the power-supplyingprimary coil 21 provided in the parking space. - For example, when the wheel of the
vehicle 10 comes into contact with thewheel stopper 31 and is stopped, the wheelstopper moving mechanism 32 moves the position of thewheel stopper 31 in the front-and-back direction such that wireless power supply efficiency from the power-supplyingprimary coil 21 to the power-supplyingsecondary coil 22 is high. - For example, when the wheel of the

wheel stopper 31, the wheelstopper moving mechanism 32, astorage member 34, and aninformation acquisition member 35. - The
wheel stopper 31 is provided in the parking space, comes into contact with the outer circumference of the wheel of thevehicle 10, and stops the movement of thevehicle 10. - The
wheel stopper 31 is provided on the runway S in an orientation in which the rotation of the wheel is prevented, comes into contact with the outer circumference of the wheel of thevehicle 10, and stops the movement of thevehicle 10. - The wheel
stopper moving mechanism 32 can move the position of thewheel stopper 31 in the front-and-back direction. - For example, the wheel
stopper moving mechanism 32 is an actuator which moves thewheel stopper 31 in the front-and-back direction on the basis of the position of the power-supplyingsecondary coil 22 provided in thevehicle 10. - The
storage member 34 stores the vehicle type information of thevehicle 10 and positional information corresponding to the position of the power-supplyingsecondary coil 22 provided in thevehicle 10 so as to be associated with each other. - The
information acquisition member 35 receives the vehicle type information of thevehicle 10 and acquires the positional information associated with the vehicle type information from thestorage member 34. - The wheel
stopper moving mechanism 32 moves the position of thewheel stopper 31 in the front-and-back direction on the basis of the positional information acquired by theinformation acquisition member 35. - For example, when the wheel of the
vehicle 10 comes into contact with thewheel stopper 31 and is stopped, the wheelstopper moving mechanism 32 moves the position of thewheel stopper 31 in the front-and-back direction such that wireless power supply efficiency from the power-supplyingprimary coil 21 to the power-supplyingsecondary coil 22 is high. - For example, when the wheel of the
vehicle 10 comes into contact with thewheel stopper 31 and is stopped, the wheelstopper moving mechanism 32 moves the position of thewheel stopper 31 in the front-and-back direction such that the power-supplyingprimary coil 21 faces the power-supplyingsecondary coil 22. - The driving
circuit 50 drives the power-supplyingprimary coil 21. For example, the drivingcircuit 50 supplies electric power to the power-supplyingprimary coil 21 and drives the power-supplyingprimary coil 21. When the drivingcircuit 50 supplies electric power to the power-supplyingprimary coil 21 and drives the power-supplyingprimary coil 21, the power-supplyingprimary coil 21 generates the magnetic field. When the drivingcircuit 50 appropriately drives the power-supplyingprimary coil 21, it is possible to wirelessly supply electric power with high efficiency. - Next, a power-supplying device for a vehicle according to a second embodiment of the invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
